Answer:

The answer to your question is c = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

a = 15

j = 24

k = 32

c = ?

Process

Use proportions to solve this problem. Compare the small triangle and the large triangle.

1.- Proportion of the small triangle

             c/15

2.- Proportion of the large triangle

            k/j

3.- Equal but terms and solve for c

            c/15 = k/j

-Substitution

            c / 15 = 32/24

            c = 32(15)/24

-Result

            c = 20

Can somebody please explain number 15 and number 18 to me, I'm begging you I cannot do this to save my life I've been trying to

Hey there! I’m happy to help!

NUMBER 15
To solve this problem we want to round to the nearest millionth. We cannot actually write out the entire number because it goes on forever, but we can expand long enough so we can round it the millions place.

One million has six zeroes. This means that a millionth is six decimal places over (0.000001 is one millionth). Same goes for other base ten numbers (100 has two zeroes, one hundredth is two decimal places over)

We see that there is a line over the 45 in our decimal. This means that after this 45 it is going to go 4545454545.... forever. We want to round to the nearest millionth. However, when you round, you need the next digit over. Let’s expand our to the ten millionth (seven digits.)
6.2145454............
Now, we look at our millionths place. The next place over is four. Therefore, we round down. Therefore, the answer is D) 6.214545

QUESTION 18
Solving questions like this is very simple. With proportions (two equal ratios of fractions) the product of the diagonal sides are equal. So, you just multiply the two numbers that are diagonal from each other and then divide it by the other number and you have your x. If you want, I can explain to you more why this works.

7(2/7)=2
2/2 1/4= 8/9

Therefore, the answer is 8/9.

I hope this has been helpful! If you need anymore help please ask! :D

What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) x^4-24x^2-25
Greeley [361]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = ±5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following polynomial function and we are to find all of its real roots:

x^4-24x^2-25

Let y=x^2 so we can now write it as:

y^2-24y-25

Factorizing it to get:

(y^2+y)+(-25y-25)

y\left(y+1\right)-25\left(y+1\right)

\left ( y + 1 \right ) \left ( y - 2 5 \right)

Substitute back y=x^2 to get:

\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x^2 - 25 \right )

\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x + 5 \right ) \left ( x - 5 \right )

The quadratic factor has only complex roots. Therefore, the real roots are x = ±5.

Describe the graph of y=3/4x-12 as compared to the graph of y=1/x
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Parent function is compressed by a factor of 3/4 and shifted to right by 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to describe the transformation of function y=\frac{3}{4x-12} as compared to the graph of y=\frac{1}{x}.

We can write our transformed function as:

y=\frac{3}{4(x-3)}

y=\frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{(x-3)}

Now let us compare our transformed function with parent function.

Let us see rules of transformation.  

f(x-a)\rightarrow\text{Graph shifted to the right by a units},

f(x+a)\rightarrow\text{Graph shifted to the left by a units},

Scaling of a function: a*f(x)

If a>1 , so function is stretched vertically.

If 0<a<1 , so function is compressed vertically.

As our parent function is multiplied by a scale factor of 3/4 and 3/4 is less than 1, so our parent function is compressed vertically by a factor of 3/4.

As 3 is being subtracted from x, so our parent function is shifted to right by 3 units or a horizontal shift to right by 3 units.

Therefore, our parent graph is compressed by a factor of 3/4 and shifted to right by 3 units to get our new graph.
